also i sure wish i could get my nascar revoultion working on win2k but hey i cant even get the game working on win98SE anymore which is sad.
must be my video card drivers or something.
cause i have a voodoo 3 2000 pci video card for now but soon will get a new one i hope but for now its fine. Would love a geforce 3 hehe i think
 
 
i hope right before windows xp comes out MS releases a really good compat update for windows xp or whatever so my nascar revoultion will work hehe!

What error do you get? I don't have the game but have you tried the fixes in the Whistler Application Compatibility Toolkit?

i dont get any error. It installs the game without anything i use but the game just doesnt startup ever.
like i double click on the game icon and it asks me direct x or opengl i tried both and neither worked. All it did was blink the screen like went to a black screen and back to my desktop.
i tried those Whistler Application Compatibility Toolkit that you have posted before which are very nice i think but it didnt work on the game.
i tried each fix. Tried everything just about i think
 
and thank you for the reply on linux.
for some reason mandrake 8.0 linux didnt like my computer the last time i installed it because it froze overnight on the screen.

I had problems with the install freezing when installing to an HD that was SLAVE to another Ide. Make sure your installing to primary.
 
You could also try the newest ver of Redhat. It's 4cd's tho if you want all the stuff. But the install is pretty cool and about as neat looking as Mandrake's.

Well it's pretty bare in the applications that it has. Redhat/Mandrake include ALOT of different programs that can introduce ya to what's out there. Plus they are alot more informative.
 
heh. A linux kernel on a floppy is small and does what you want it to do too but it isn't going to teach you much.
